Lack of good storyline.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The setup for this movie is great. Due to the extreme rules governing a dystopian future's overpopulation, seven twin sisters (all Noomi Rapace)are forced to assume a single personality; Karen Settman. Each of the sisters is named after the day of the week when they will face the world and take on the Karen persona. So Sunday is full of faith, Monday gets things done, Saturday is up for a good time and, well, the rest of them are not so obviously defined or developed in the limited screentime afforded them. Were this a novel, I'd imagine that the characters and their distinctive personalities would be emphasised and explained. As a movie, we're reliant on Rapace's attempts to distinguish the characters. This never really works due to the way it's essentially splitting a protagonist into 7 pieces and using wardrobe and make-up to fill in the gaps. My patience with the film lasted until around the 30th minute which was when the story ceased pretending to be intelligent. The interesting storyline of 7 sisters sharing a role is jettisoned when the charade is discovered, and the movie promptly changes direction into an action movie, with a succession of expendable heroes and a strange preoccupation with gore. I love a good action movie, but this is far from one. I quickly stopped caring for any of the characters and wish it had chosen to be intelligent sci-fi rather than redundant, low budget action.

In not so distant future, a set of rules are implemented to decrease human overpopulation. However, this story is presented by such a bad acting crew and such terrible actors that totally ruined it. No sister has convincing feeling for each other. Everybody is so expressionless or tend to express too forced and all action seems dried and. I had more expectations from Glenn at least to save a part of the film, but even she totally failed when she tried to have a credible faint. Everything seems so forced and so fake. Very curious however how sisters developed sudden accent and especially sudden sex scene was the cherry on top of funeral dish!

In a world mixed with reality and fantasy, where one would question systems and laws, this movie takes place. And what a better way to demonize the communist one-child policy than weaving it in a gloomy story where 7 female siblings have to hide their existence forever. I have to say that the story of this movie is unique, for it invokes your sympathy with the 7 identical siblings. The fact that you must hide all your life with no real identity, and are only allowed to go out once a week on the day you're named after, is pretty painful and depressing. Noomi Rapace's performance was incredible. It reminds me of the talents of Uma Therman in 'Kill Bill' and Sigourney Weaver in her epic days. The movie raises an indirect question. Is it true that love can conquer everything? We see that the CAB officer gets attached to one of the siblings, that's Saturday. Although we didn't see enough of what urges him to risk his life in order to save her, he defies everything for her. Perhaps it proves that love is blind. It sure is in this case. I recommend this movie for you. Enjoy!

IMDb should definitely put this movie in the sci-fi genre as we are in the future with special gadgets, and with a story that completely looks sci-fi even though this might become reality one day. The planet is already overpopulated and the future isn't bright if not disastrous. A one child policy will one day become inevitable if you like it or not. That's what I liked so much about What Happened To Monday, the well brought story of a near future, and all this with a good twist. The main actor is Noomi Rapace, who could it be else as she plays seven different characters, and she did an excellent job doing that. The rest of the cast was also good. It is a long movie but you never have a dull moment or a boring feeling, and that's already exceptional for a movie that lasts more than two hours. Good action combined with an interesting story, what else could we ask for?
